Ms. Taylor discusses her work, stating, “This book is a collaboration of stories of the brave women veterans that joined the military. Not everyone received the emotional support of their family when they were told of their decision to join. But their determination didn’t stop them from doing what their hearts led them to do. No particular branch of service is greater than the other, but the stories in why each woman chose their branch is an amazing story to read.”
She continues, “I believe our stories will touch your heart and make you proud
that we did what some either wouldn’t or couldn’t do. We are all conquerors in our own way! For too long our voices have not been heard and no one wanted to talk about the things that women accomplished while serving. But this book will tell you about the women that served and why they decided to serve. Through creative storytelling, these stories will take you on an emotional ride; our intent is to share with you our one desire! And that desire is to serve our country.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Cassandra Taylor’s new book invites readers to laugh, cry, cheer, or get angry alongside these women as they share what their service has meant to them.
